Review of As Seen on TV

As Seen on TV (2005)
10/10
freakin brilliant
12 October 2005
saw a screening because i knew one of the smaller-role actors. was prepared for another low-budget so-so sitcomy short. man, was i blown away. great pacing, character development, jokes that were funny and irreverent as hell. unbelievably good comic acting. well shot, too, in that shaky, arrested development way. george wendt is bigger and better than ever, and the woman with the lead role as "aimee" is perfect--i mean perfect. booze jokes, sex jokes, race jokes and outrageous situations are sewn together somehow to define a huge bunch of characters in a plot that actually moves along and makes sense. if somebody doesn't do something with this project it'll be a shame. would make a great adult sitcom, until the networks butcher it, anyway. the writer/director is a really young guy, and apparently put the whole deal together himself. pretty impressive.
